Two-cylinder engine ?

but I believe so, yes.  As said I haven't been able to find out as much as I would like, but it has either a 2-cyl (most likely) or a single cylinder engine; I'm not sure which!

I don't know where to start looking! ???

Can we assume this is a motorcycle engine?

Yes, it has a motorcycle engine; but it's not the Cotti Special.

My internet searches have been extensive, using every permutation of engine and cylinder configuration. Zip. Nada.

So it's a case of elimination. JAP?

British engine ?

I'm afraid I only know what size and type of engine, not the make.

Whoops! So the type is motorcycle (probably air-cooled) and the size could be single-cylinder or twin, so I reckon it's around 1000cc.

Smaller than both those guesses I believe!
Of course it might or might not be air-cooled..

Should I understand that you're not actually sure that the engine is 250cc, hence it cannot be used as a search criteria to look for the car ?

There's nothing to stop you using it for your Search as there's a good chance that it is 250cc; on the other hand it might only be 150cc, I'm not sure.

I'm going to be interested in the outcome of this puzzle! I take it you only know that it's a motorcycle engine, and that it could be up to 250cc.. You don't know the make of engine, so you clearly won't know what engine sizes they manufactured. I'm just curious to know why you know the engine is below 250cc but don't know its capacity.  ;D ;D


Sorry if this comes across as rude - it's not meant to be! This puzzle's a doozy.

It's because information about it is so sparse; I'm having to read between the lines...
